I'm not... but he's starting to approach the range where absolutely anyone is worth a bet, no matter who they're facing. They're all pros and strong guys... one punch can down anyone at any time.

Its a horrible mis match... there is no way two guys this far apart should be fighting on the main event of a UFC card unless it is a GSP or Anderson Silva title fight and they're forced into as nobody else to compete. Nothing we can do as its obviously all last minute... i'd rather see a one sided beat down than no fight at all.

I wonder if an Athletic commission would even have approved this fight in USA?

The last time in my memory that an unknown guy got the main event slot on a UFC card was when Sean Salmon became the funniest part of Rashad Evans' highlight reel.
This time however, I have a feeling that things could play out in the unknown's favor.

Sorry Copper, but I think that fight is the perfect example of the old saying, "It doesn't matter how you start, but rather how you finish," and man oh man, Salmon lived up to his last name when he flopped to the ground like a fish!

I tend to agree with you, but he had such a terrible adrenaline dump going into the second round that he looked as though he had no idea that he was supposed to do cardio training prior to the fight. He gassed terribly which lead to his head getting kicked into the 4th row.

It just goes to show how much promoters like to use the 'UFC veteran' angle on their cards. I'm just taking a more careful look at Salmons record now and its pathetic to go 0-10 against a bunch of nobodies. Thats probably not fair on Jeremy Horn actually but its okay for the other 9 I think.

I wonder what him and the people around him are thinking... its ridiculous to get knocked out (and go 0-3, all fight time together < 6 minutes) and then go fight again 13 days later. Knocked out in 40 seconds that time... that was neither healthy, or a surprise.
